Approximately 40 years ago, a group of community-minded people, supported by the local churches (Holy Cross Episcopal, Saint Mary's, Emory, Highland and Chestnut Grove), had the foresight to recognize the benefit of and need for, a quality child care center in rural Harford County. Establishing itself as the Street Interfaith Council, the committee pursued the idea of obtaining funding and support for a child care center to serve area children and families. Opening its' doors at Holy Cross Episcopal Church Parish House in November 1971, The Children's Center of North Harford (CCNH) began its' four decades of non-profit service to the communities of Northern Harford County and Southern Pennsylvania.
From 1971 to 1974, CCNH provided full-time daycare service. In 1974, the Nursery School Program was established and was approved by the Office of Child Care/Maryland state Department of Education. In 1985 the school relocated to its current location in the former Highland Elementary School Kindergarten Building (Baity Building) and the Highland Commons Buildings. CCNH maintains two classrooms and the CCNH office in the Baity Building and maintains one classroom in the Highland Commons Building.
Children's Center currently offers the following programs to the families and children of its' community:
Two Year Old “Mommy and Me”
Nursery Program and Day Care for 3’s, 4’s and 5’s
Kindergarten Readiness
Before and After School Care for School-Aged Children Attending North Harford Elementary School
Full Day Summer Day Care Program
